˗ˏˋ fullscreen suggested, space for next ˊˎ˗ hi !! meet Ananux Gelato! and Mentha Gelato! my two entries and sisters she/her for both ana- quiet but once you get to know her she is something else know mentha- quiet and timid all the time backstory [ but story format ] A magician walked into the gelato shop, hoping to make some mischief. He didn't exactly have bad intentions in mind, but they definitely weren't good. He went over to the ice cream window. "I'll have a two-scoop mint chocolate chip," he asked. The worker, maybe 16, hands him the ice cream. The 16-year-old seems timid, as though he may have only gotten this job because he was forced to, the magician observes. He finds a secluded table and pulls out a potion gifted to him by a witch. The magician looked around to make sure nobody was watching. He poured it onto the top scoop of ice cream. It began to transform. But, instead of being a mischievous, outgoing, funny, demon-like creature, a miniature, minty kitten popped out, mewing patheticly. Unbeknownst to the magician, the potion turned the object it landed on into what the person pouring it was thinking. The magician had been thinking about the timid, almost pathetic, yet seeming nice enough, 16-year-old. The kitten begins to run away, and the magician assumes it is to cause mischief, as he had planned. Instead, she runs and hides behind the counter and into the freezer. Annoyed, the magician leaves after eating the remaining scoop. Later, the 16-year-old discovers the tiny kitten hiding in the freezer as he goes to lock it up. He holds out his hand. "Hi there little one," he said gently. "I'm Aiden, you can trust me, it's ok," he says comfortingly. The tiny kitten, no bigger than his palm, steps onto his outstretched hand. "You're tiny!" he exclaims in a whisper-yell. Upon arriving home, he brings her to his room and pulls out his phone. He googles 'girl names that mean mint' and the name Ananux pops up. "Well there you have it," he says. "That's your new name!" basically, she is adopted by Aiden and ends up living with him. he goes on to realize how intelligent she is, like human-level intelligence, so he teaches her to read and she becomes a... bookworm!! He treats her like a little sister. Because of her size, she is carried everywhere by him and she communicates with him by thought- it turned out once she turned about one, once she matured enough, it turned out the potion if the object it landed on was based off of a living thing that is capable of thought, it would cause the object to be able to communicate with that living thing through thoughts. Ana depends on Aiden quite a bit but usually can blend in well enough with grass to travel to her favorite spot in a meadow to read. Aiden keeps a stack of books there for her. (she is able to turn the pages) and for those of you wondering, her fur is mint colored, its not made of mint chocolate chip ice cream so it does not drip or melt, it is real fur, made real by the potion. also Aiden lives with his mother (father is out of the picture (deceased)) and is an only child, but he IS spoiled rotten by his loving grandparents on both sides. Mentha- Mentha was made right before the magician left, in an attempt to create another one, but the magician couldn't stop thinking about Aiden- mostly because the magician himself was 16 and found Aiden cute (possible romance right there) and created Mentha, Ananux's younger sister. Aiden found her the next day, also in the freezer. (did i mention that they are extremely cold to the touch, always) She is extremely like her sister, and they do pretty much everything together. But, she is even more shy than Ananux, even once you get to know her she only opens up a little. oh and her name also means mint so yea question- if someone else wins their design, who gets these designs?
